⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️
This is a serious topic for us, but one that I’m trying to make a little more lighthearted — hence the use of Henny Penny. 😂🐔
We did have to cull a few birds tonight. Some were bullies, while others had birth defects or simply weren’t doing well. This is never something we enjoy doing, and we don’t take it lightly. We exhausted every other option we could think of, but unfortunately, it was time to make the decision that was best for those birds and for the flock as a whole.
We use the broomstick method because, in our experience, it is quick, humane when done correctly, and creates the least amount of mess. It’s not a fun part of raising chickens, but sometimes responsible flock management means making some really hard decisions.
Hopefully, you at least got a little chuckle out of Henny Penny. 😂 Sometimes you have to find a little humor in the hard parts.
We hope everyone had a great day and an even better night! ❤️🐔
